Lyrics
You dance as the embers glow, I reach for you babe
Expressing a desire to connect while surrounded by a fading or diminishing spark.
But you just keep getting lost in the crowd
Despite attempts, the person being pursued remains lost amidst others.
Black smoke casting shadows in the night I look up at the stars
Visualizing ominous imagery of darkness (black smoke) contrasting with the beauty of the stars.
And it's causing me a fright
Feeling fear due to the contrast between the darkness and the beauty above.
Everybody's preaching, the end is near But I left home cause I wanna disappear
Rejecting the prevailing notion of an impending end, choosing instead to escape and vanish.
We'll never be the same as we were way back then
Acknowledging that returning to a past state is impossible.
So keep your 3rd eye open
Advising to remain aware and perceptive, possibly spiritually.
Sweet dreams back in Joshua Tree Feels like a memory
Recalling pleasant memories in Joshua Tree, now feeling distant.
In this strange land
Feeling displaced in an unfamiliar or surreal environment.
Black magic mixing up with the wine
Describing a sense of mysterious and possibly unsettling occurrences intertwined with indulgence.
Now their chanting at the moon and I'm waiting for the light
Observing rituals while waiting for illumination or understanding.
Everybody's preaching, the end is near
Reiteration of the prevailing belief in an impending end, contrary to the desire to escape.
But I left home cause I wanna disappear
Reaffirming the desire to escape despite the prevalent beliefs.
We'll never be the same as we were way back then
Acceptance that returning to a previous state is unattainable.
So keep your 3rd eye open
Reiterating the advice to stay spiritually aware and alert.
Everybody's preaching, the end is near but I left home cause I wanna disappear
Repeating the desire to escape despite prevalent notions, indicating a strong personal inclination.
Everybody's going just a little bit too far, but I wanna go back to who we are
Observing others moving excessively away from their origins, contrasting with the desire to return.
We'll never be the same as we were way back
Acknowledging an unattainable return to a past state.
We'll never be the same as we were way back
Repeating the unattainable return to a past state.
We'll never be the same as we were back then
Acknowledging the impossibility of returning to a past state.
So keep your 3rd eye open
Final advice to remain spiritually perceptive despite the impossibility of returning.
